This loosely-defined music genre was obscure to Western audiences in the 1970s-80s, but has seen a more globalized resurgence in recent years.

People in a southwestern Japanese city have come under attack from monkeys that are trying to snatch babies, biting and clawing at flesh, and sneaking into nursery schools. The attacks — on 58 people since July 8 — are getting so bad that Yamaguchi city hall hired a special unit to hunt the animals with tranquilizer guns. The monkeys aren't interested in food, so traps haven't worked. They have targeted mostly children and the elderly. “They are so smart, and they tend to sneak up and attack from behind, often grabbing at your legs,” city official Masato Saito said. When confronted by a monkey, the instructions are: Do not look them in the eye, make yourself look as big as possible, such as by spreading open your coat, then back away as quietly as possible without making sudden moves, according to Saito. A woman was assaulted by a monkey while hanging laundry on her veranda. Another victim showed bandaged toes. They were taken aback and frightened by how big and fat the monkeys were. The monkeys terrorizing the community are Japanese macaques, the kind often pictured peacefully bathing in hot springs. One male monkey, measuring 49 centimeters (1.6 feet) in height and weighing 7 kilograms (15 pounds), was caught by the team with the tranquilizer gun. It was judged by various evidence to be one of the attacking monkeys and put to death. But more attacks were reported after the capture. No one has been seriously injured so far. But all have been advised to get hospital treatment. Ambulances were called in some cases. Although Japan is industrialized and urban, a fair portion of land in the archipelago is mountains and forests. Rare attacks on people by a bear, boars or other wildlife have occurred, but generally not by monkeys. No one seems to know why the attacks have occurred, and where exactly the troop of monkeys came from remains unclear. “I have never seen anything like this my entire life,” Saito said.

After months of wavering, the Senate on Wednesday approved a sweeping $280-billion plan to subsidize domestic semiconductor manufacturers and fund research that a bipartisan group of lawmakers hopes will shore up U.S. competitiveness, particularly against China. On Tuesday (July 26), Yuri Borisov, the new head of Russia's space agency Roscosmos, announced that the nation planned to leave the ISS consortium "after 2024." That statement contains quite a bit of wiggle room, and it appears that Russia is going to take advantage of it. The nation intends to remain an ISS partner at least until its own space station is up and running, a milestone that's not expected until 2028 at the earliest.

If you listen to a lot of music on YouTube, you may have been recommended a video. The thumbnail image is a striking black-and-white photo of a Japanese singer named Mariya Takeuchi. The song, “Plastic Love,” is a lush disco track with deep groove, impeccable string and horn arrangements, and a slow-burn vocal performance from Takeuchi. When the song was released in 1979, it sold 10,000 copies. Today, it's racked up over 65 million views since its posting in 2017.   How did the relatively obscure genre of Japanese City Pop, an amalgam of American soul and funk and Japanese songcraft from the 1970s and 80s, become the sound of the moment? For Pitchfork's Cat Zhang, City Pop's heart-on-its-sleeve emotions and slick production resonates with the nostalgic leanings of much contemporary pop. Sampled by artists like Tyler the Creator and inspiring original material from bands around the globe, City Pop has much to tell us about cultural exchange, technology, and the enduring universal power of slap bass.  Songs Discussed: Miki Matsubara - Stay With Me Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love Makoto Matsushita - Business Man Pt 1 Tatsuro Yamashita - Marry-go-round Anri - Good Bye Boogie Dance Boredoms - Which Dooyoo Like Toshiko Yonekawa - Sōran Bushi Takeo Yamashita - Touch of Japanese Tone Mai Yamane - Tasogare Young Nudy ft Playboi Carti's - Pissy Pamper Tatsuro Yamashita - Fragile Tyler The Creator - GONE, GONE / THANK YOU 9 Sunset Rollercoaster - Burgundy Red Check out Cat's article The Endless Life Cycle of Japanese City Pop on Pitchfork Learn more about your ad choices.

What can a simple street address reveal about a person’s identity, race, wealth and power? For many of us, an address is something we don't spend a lot of time thinking about. It may be a string of numbers and letters we type into a GPS. A place we call home. Or just a placeholder where we get our mail. Yet, for others, it can mean much more. A way out of poverty. A signal of economic status. Or an indicator of race and social history. Street addresses can change lives. Deirdre Mask, author of the book, The Address Book: What Street Addresses Reveal about Identity, Race, Wealth, and Power, explains, "Billions of people in the world don't have reliable addresses, and having an address is one of the cheapest ways of lifting people out of poverty." At the same time, Deirdre argues, street addresses don't always change lives for the better. While they can stop epidemics and help the poor get bank accounts, they can also entrench racism and empower authoritarian governments. In this interview, one of the examples we discuss is the negative stereotype associated with streets name for Martin Luther King, Jr. Deirdre asks, "Is it really that MLK streets all deserve this bad reputation or is it that, because we associate MLK streets with Blackness, that we seem them as bad, whether they're nice or not?"  Deirdre is a writer, lawyer, and academic. Her work has appeared in publications like, The Atlantic, The Guardian, The New York Times, and The Economist.

Hiroshima Day 2020 | 6 August | The Day an Atomic Bomb Destroyed The Lives of an Entire Japanese City | Prof. Anto Talks | Nethaji Bose Defense Academy | Coimbatore A reminder of the day when a nuclear weapon was used during an armed conflict between two countries, and the lives it took while razing a city to the ground. The effects of the atomic bomb that was dropped by the US on the city of Hiroshima, Japan in 1945, saw a large number of people continue to die months after the incident, and most were innocent civilians. In memory of the day and of those who lost their lives, August 6 is marked yearly as Hiroshima Day.

Welcome to the World news. World news keeps you updated news around the nations. Today's topic is "Japanese City Bans Phone Use While Walking" The city of Yamato in Kanagawa prefecture has become the first city in Japan to ban the use of phones while walking. Starting July 1, people in Yamato are no longer allowed to look at their smartphones while walking outside in public places, such as streets and parks. If they need to use their smartphones, pedestrians must move to the side and stop, making sure they are not in the way of vehicles or other pedestrians. Although those who break the law will not be punished, city officials hope that the ban will make people think more about the dangers of walking while looking at their phones. Posters about the new rule will also be placed around the city. "The number of people using smartphones has rapidly increased and so have the number of accidents," city official Masaaki Yasumi told AFP. The new law was proposed after a January study which watched around 6,000 pedestrians in two different parts of the city. Researchers found that about 12% of pedestrians used smartphones while walking. In 2014, researchers from Japanese cell phone company NTT Docomo used a computer to see what would happen if 1,500 people used Tokyo's Shibuya pedestrian crossing while looking at their phones. They found that only about one third of people would get to the other side of the street without hitting someone else, falling or dropping their phone.

A inicios de la década de los años 80, Japón era ya un país completamente recuperado y se perfilaba como la primera potencia económica del mundo. Así como en su momento el Enka despertó un sentimiento de esperanza por un mejor mañana, el llamado City Pop fue un reflejo de aquél optimismo por conseguir la prosperidad deseada, y en cuyas letras se plasmaba la agitada vida de las ultramodernas metrópolis japonesas. Escucha una variada selección de los mejores exponentes de esta corriente netamente popera.

Pradyumna P. Karan, Professor of Geography, University of Kentucky, discusses how Japanese geography shapes Japanese society. Earthquake, tsunami and the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl: The triple disasters of March 2011 hit Japan when it was already feeling vulnerable, its confidence shaken by debt, deflation and political inertia. And yet, those terrible days also revealed Japan’s strengths, most notably the sense of community that created order and dignity amidst the rubble. The lecture will highlight geographic realities of contemporary Japan. Within the context of geography, it will discuss the environmental, socioeconomic and political challenges facing Japan today, and how Japan is responding to these challenges. P. P. Karan is University Research Professor of Geography and Japan Studies and Distinguished Professor in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Kentucky. He has held professorships at distinguished universities in the United States, Canada, Japan, Asia and Europe. He has authored and edited several books on Japan including The Japanese City (1997), The Japanese Landscapes (1998), Japan in the Bluegrass (2001), Japan in the 21st Century (2005), and Local Environmental Movements: A Comparative Study of Japan and the United States (2008). His current research in Japan involves geographic analysis of recovery and reconstruction efforts following the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster of March 2011 in Tohoku region.
